Fenland787 but, hey, I'm just an old pilot, what would I know?
Unless we've got a MBA in Underwater Basket-Weaving, neither of us is qualified nor suitable to manage, or even to advise the current crop of bean-counting whizz-kids, as to desirable ways of achieving the task without endangering lives.
And of course lives are priced, as seen in the projected freighter accident rates quoted in the UAE 747F LI-Ion batteries accident report.
So we'll all carry on like creatures from the film "Metropolis" hoping it wont be our
, or the
of a loved one or colleague which get burnt.
And all the time the mealy-mouthed responses of the CAA and other AAs can be read in the pages of CHIRP and elsewhere.
And we can watch as our elected representatives look on idly whilst EASA FTLs are drafted and enacted without a single qualified aircrew member in the midst of those movers and shakers.
Time to take out and dust off those copies of "The Tombstone Imperative"?
But then we should not have joined if we couldn't take a joke, what??
